ABSTRACT

The article present results of the studies on the functional model of an electrical grass mower, powered by an alkaline fuel cell in the aspect of exploitation properties and energetic efficiency. Variability of the load torque, tension and rotating speed while mowing were determined. The energetic efficiency of the system “fuel cell – mower” and the conditions of effective mowing (active length of the knife and the maximum progressive speed of the mower) were calculated.

Key words: fuel cell, driving system, renewable energy, hydrogen.
